⭐ What Is the Trinity Stitch?

The Trinity Stitch is a textured crochet stitch created by working single crochet three together (SC3tog) in overlapping stitches. This forms small star-shaped clusters, giving the fabric a thick, cozy, and beautifully patterned look.

It’s ideal for:

• Baby blankets
• Dishcloths and washcloths
• Scarves and cowls
  
• Pillow covers
• Bags and home décor projects

And the best part?
It uses only single crochet, making it beginner-friendly and easy to master.
